Description
The B183 Reverse Trip Ball Lever is an essential part of the Bridgeport vertical milling machine’s power feed trip assembly. This lever works with the trip ball, trip bracket, and feed transmission system to automatically disengage the feed at preset travel positions. Its hardened construction ensures long service life, smooth operation, and consistent performance even under heavy shop use.
Applications:
- Feed trip assemblies in milling machines
- Bridgeport-style automatic feed trip mechanisms
- Mechanical detent systems
- Precision linkages
- Trigger pins, selector detents, and ball-engagement mechanisms
- Any mechanism requiring controlled movement and positive engagement
Features:
- Dual ball-end design for smooth and accurate detent action
- Tight dimensional tolerance for precision assemblies
- Polished finish for reduced friction
- Durable stainless/hardened steel construction
- Lightweight but strong
Advantages:
- Improves reliability of feed disengagement
- Replaces worn or loose trip levers
- Reduces feed overrun and potential table/stop damage
- Enhances operator safety by ensuring accurate travel stops
About The Product:
This component is a precision-ground detent pin featuring two symmetrical ball-end sections designed to engage with mating recesses, springs, or trip mechanisms. It is typically used in automatic feed trip assemblies of milling machines (including Bridgeport-type), mechanical linkages, and high-precision trigger or detent systems.
More questions buyers ask
What is a Reverse Trip Ball Lever used for?
It is a critical component in the automatic feed trip assembly of Bridgeport-style milling machines, ensuring the feed disengages at precise travel positions.
Is this lever compatible with all milling machines?
It is specifically designed for Bridgeport-style vertical milling machines using the B-0183 model specification.
What material is the B-0183 lever made of?
It is constructed from hardened, high-quality steel to ensure durability and smooth operation under heavy shop use.
Why does my milling machine feed not disengage properly?
A worn or loose trip lever is a common cause. Replacing it with a new B-0183 lever often restores accurate feed disengagement.
What are the dimensions of the B-0183 lever?
It has a total length of 21.2 mm, with a ball-end diameter of 6.2 mm and a center section diameter of 6.1 mm.
Does this part come with a warranty?
Yes, all Pentagon machine spares come with a standard manufacturer warranty against defects.
Can I get a GST invoice for this purchase?
Yes, we provide a valid GST invoice with every order for your accounting needs.
How do I install the reverse trip ball lever?
Installation typically involves removing the old lever from the trip bracket and inserting the new one, ensuring the ball ends align correctly with the detent mechanism.
What happens if I don't replace a worn trip lever?
A worn lever can lead to feed overrun, potentially causing damage to your machine table or stops.
Is this a genuine Pentagon spare part?
Yes, this is a precision-manufactured spare part by Pentagon, designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications.
Who should choose the B-0183 Reverse Trip Ball Lever?
Workshop owners and maintenance technicians managing Bridgeport-style vertical milling machines who need to restore precise automatic feed functionality.
How does the B-0183 compare to generic trip levers?
The Pentagon B-0183 features tighter dimensional tolerances and a polished finish, providing smoother detent action and longer service life compared to generic alternatives.
